C1 Lit/Translation Mayhem No.13/1

Hello folks,

with the pre-test approaching, I have not much more for you to read, rather create. Because, as you may have noticed, translation is a creative process of intepreting

It's high time you got yourself a Monolingual English/English learner's dicttionary, and  take it to the class with you, since you're not allowed to use online or electronic ones at the pre-test (for obvious reasons) - such as this one I am going to give you a few tips on using it. And we will do some more translating excercises..

ALSO, I am waiting for your Kerouac translations and here's one more text to translate before Thursday:

B group, we also might go through this interesting piece by George Orwell on Freedom of Speech, I encourage you to read it:
